English term or phrase: free-standing particles
The charges of free-standing particles are integer multiples of the elementary charge e; we say that electric charge is quantized.

Explanation:
I don't speak Portuguese, but following the same question in the English-only pair, I suppose that this is meant. In other words: an unbound particle. It doesn't have to be isolated nor "independent".
The general point is that there exist particles with fractional charges - quarks - but they are always bound.

  • In physics, a free particle is a particle that, in some sense, is not bound by an external force, or equivalently not in a region where its potential energy varies. In classical physics, this means the particle is present in a "field-free" space. In quant
